The reason you are confused is this word comes from Latin. In fact, many English words come from another language originally. In Latin, which used to be spoken in ancient Rome, the word "bellus" meant "war." So someone who was "bellicose" liked war, or liked to fight. There are some examples on this page, but I hope my explanation is also helpful to you.
